WRD D5 custom 3 piece wheels.. 17x10.5 18x12.5.. NOW WITH PHOTOS OF WHEELS FITTED

Hi guys.
Just wanted to share with you something that I'm currently working on...
I bought these wheels about 6 months ago, measuring in at 17x7+32 and 17x8+36.
My intention was to always build them up for the s2k, so the time came around where we started taking down measurements, for maximum inner clearance.

I wanted to run a meaty tire so decisions were made that the rear would measure in at 18x12.5 with a slant lip, meanwhile at the front was a 17x10.5..
I'm no big fan of over the top camber, so the barrel on the rear measures in at 9inches...
Craig at white horse done an awesome job of the lips and barrels, strongly recommend.

Here are some photos to show the stage I'm up to, 80 holes per wheel to drill out..

Thanks mate, appreciate the kind words.
just finished drilling the 2nd wheel so by the end of the weekend I'll possibly have them all drilled then to powder coat the centre's. ..

I take it the bodywork ain't stock?

Front/rears rolled
That's all

10.5" & 12.5"? That's pretty ambitious.

They have a really high offset hence why they will fit have seen them test fitted and only needs a slip pull front and rear

cars back from the panel shop. and I could not be any happier!
amazing work..

rims will be test fitted today...

definitely needs more low that'll be happening tomorrow.
Just wanted to run them like this to look suss out the fitment and clearances.

stretching on 17' looks bit funny to me, the inner pieces are just way too wide and your wheels' offset are pretty high. 10.5 front & 12.5 on a s2k are too wide.
Front wheels pop out way too much & not enough lip... I won't do that if I were you. Just my opinions..

you cant run low offsets on an s2k.. do your research before posting something pointless like that..
Too wide ? never...
its because the profile is too big.. ideally i'll be ordering 245-35-17
ill get a side on shot to show you exactly how much they "pop out"
